What causes vein problems?
A common cause of vein problems is venous insufficiency. This is a widespread condition, and around 50% of Americans have some form of venous insufficiency. Examples of problems associated with venous insufficiency include varicose veins, spider veins, and reticular veins.
Vein problems are more likely to affect you as you grow older because the valves in your blood vessels get weaker over the years. Other factors, like lifestyle, weight, fitness, and pregnancy, can all cause vein problems.
